GETTING
SET-UP
Getting the bag ready is easy! Our exclusive electronically
welded through-valve on all of our
bags eliminates your cutting
holes in the bag and installing difficult to seal valves.
First press the vacuum hose through the valve, tighten the clamp around the valve stem, and you’re ready.

OUR KITS:

CD-1001VACUUM BAGGING
KIT
Molds
and vacuum board pictured not included.
The
CD 1001 vacuum bagging kit is the perfect solution for those who want to
start veneering or forming without the expense of the larger
professional systems. The
CD 1001 kit is the perfect solution for the professional or home

The Pro
6
& 10Mold
and vacuum board not included.The
MARK 6 and MARK 10 are electronically regulated, completely self
contained, rotary vane vacuum pumps . They do not require an air
compressor to create a vacuum. These pumps have been especially
modified to match them perfectly with the vacuum bag veneering,
forming and clamping applications. The system is controlled by
an illuminated, three position switch giving the operator the
choice of having the vacuum flow continuous for clamping or
cycled through the adjustable vacuum level switch for bagging.
The purpose of the cycled or bagging mode is to turn off the
pump once it has reached a preset level, in this case all our
switches are pre set to 25"Hg, and to re-start it when the
vacuum level falls. This cycling mode keeps the bag at full
vacuum but doesn't allow the pump to overheat and activate the
electronic, thermal relay switch that is built into each rotary
vane pump as an extra protection. When using the clamping mode
the pump will automatically bypass the micro switch and reach
its maximum vacuum of between 26 to 27" Hg.

VHP
Pump (To Right)The heart of any vacuum
system is the pump and the VHP Pump sets the standard for
every other pump in it’s class on the market today and has
proven to be such an exceptional pump, it is offered as an
upgrade to any existing system. It is the perfect pump for
frame press for
large bag operation and can be manifolded for multiple
bag operations.

Note: CFM is a measurement of how fast the pump draws air out of the
bag.
Bag
Upgrade? Simple. Just subtract amount for the bag shown above
in your kit,
then add the price for the bag you
want shown below.

Mark
II Electronic Pump Controller
Specifically designed to automatically cycle old
electric vacuum pumps off
and on when theyreach a pre-set level of vacuum. The purpose of this
cycling is to prevent the pump from overheating from prolonged use when
vacuum bagging. A front panel, illuminated, three position switch allows
the operator to select either the cycling mode or to bypass the vacuum
level micro control switch when using it in the clamping mode. To
operate you simply plug the pumps power cord and vacuum line into the
back of the controller and everything after that is automatically
controlled from the front panel

We
offer, as standard, in stock products ready to ship vacuum
bags for veneering and forming in three different materials and a
variety of sizes. Each type of material has unique properties that make
them ideally suited for different applications. From the “all
around” versatility and economy of vinyl, the perfect choice for the
small shop and semi-professional to the higher production durability of
polyurethane with its particular conforming properties to the new
“fast evacuation” vinyl bags which are ideal for lamination of flat
stock. In addition, we can make any size bag, to your specifications, in
about five days or less. All of our bags are made with the finest
materials available, to our rigid specifications and are unconditionally
guaranteed against manufacturing defects.

VinylBag
Specifications and Benefits:1. Heat welded seams guaranteed not to come apart.2. Three track, “quick-zip” closure system for easy, fast and
positive bag sealing.3. Clampless, press fit, air tight vacuum hose connection
electrically welded to the bag eliminating the need to cut a hole in the
bag or to use nuts and washers to seal-off the access hole.4. Low, economical cost.5. Completely transparent, water clear film.6. Easy to repair tears or punctures.7. 280 lb. tear strength resistance.8. 2x to 3x elongation or “stretch-ability”.9. .020 Thickness

These vinyl bags have been manufactured and sold to
hundreds of
satisfied customers since 1997. They have also been used as pool liners
and as water bed mattresses for decades with excellent results. There
has been the concern that vinyl is not as strong, or puncture resistant,
as polyurethane and to a large extent that is true. However, the
comparison would be better made if you said that polyurethane was like
steel and vinyl was like aluminum, both very strong materials and able
to withstand almost any usage. With proper care, vinyl bags will have a
useful life every bit as long as any other material; plus the cost of
vinyl bags is so low that many users will elect to have bags in two or
three sizes, often at slightly less cost than a single polyurethane bag.
This is the perfect small shop bag.

CLOSING THE BAG
The Triple Track E-Z zip Vinyl bag eliminates those difficult to
use bars and clamps to seal the bag. Our “triple track” closure
system makes sealing the bag a snap!

Comments:
Polyurethane is unquestionably stronger and more durable than
vinyl making it the perfect product for a hard working,
production environment. Its “stretchability” also makes it
ideal for highly curved or arched work. It also stays more
flexible over a greater temperature range so you don’t have to
worry about the bag being too stiff to work with in a cool shop.
Polyurethane also has a significantly greater puncture and tear
resistance than vinyl which is also beneficial in a busy
production area. All things being equal, both type of bags will
last a very long time if proper care is exercised but for a high
production application polyurethane is definitely the material
of choice.

We can
make any size bag to your specifications.

PRO-GLUE “HIGH
PERFORMANCE” PVAis an
unconventional poly vinyl acetate that is similar to the typical yellow
and white “carpenters” glue except that it has 67% solids compared to the
typical glues whose solid content is 54-56%. This means that it is
“stickier” creating a stronger bond since more of it stays in the joint
where it is needed and it dries harder loosing much of the typical pva
“creep” that is associated with the less solid brands.

(*Titebond2 is also used by some of our
customers, some instructions below can be ignored when using Titebond2)

Mixing Instructions:
Follow MFG Instructions and/or:
1. Have plastic containers ready for mixing.
2. The hardener is mixed in at 1:5
3. Mix until a uniform color is achieved.
4. Add thickener to thicken almost to a "mayonnaise"
consistency.

Vacuum Clamping:
Follow Instructions included with your machine and/or:
1. Spread out glue with trowel on your substrate, not veneer.
2. Place veneer in position on substrate. Use box tape to hold in place.
Tip: Try not to get glue resin on veneer face, will show up on when
finishing.
3. Use clear plastic food wrap to cover up edges where glue will squeeze
out.
4. Place project in Vacuum Bag on top of your clamping board or form.
5. Seal Vacuum Bag and turn on the Vacuum unit.
6. You should leave your project in the bag for at least 3-1/2 hrs.
Tip: Clamp time may differ with climates, longer for wood forming. See
Glue MFG
specs.

Clamping Boards & Forms:
A clamping board is put in your bag before clamping. Operators usually
have a few different sized boards for their projects. The board is usually
at least 4" larger than the project on all sides. A 3/4" 2-sided melamine
board is what we recommend for the clamping board because it allows you to
easily slide in and out your project. Shallow cuts must be made into this
clamping board on the front and back, about 1/32" deep is fine and the
hose must protrude through the bag into a hole in the edge of the clamping
board that in turn, is ported into the cuts you have made. Lastly,
round-over and sand the outer edges of the board and sand the shallow cuts
you have made.

Forms are used for making custom curved plywood pieces or other items.
These are done may different ways and made of wood. You must build your
form very strong to withstand the 1700lbs per sq. ft. that the unit will
supply. For custom forming, we recommend the Pro 5 kit as the smallest kit
to be used.

Closing:
Vacuum Clamping is a procedure that has many different techniques. Many
users have their own tricks they have perfected. Experimenting with your
system can be fun and educational for individual users and profitable for
your business.

Always
follow manufacturer recommendations also for mixing, storage and
safety warnings.
